The cabin door shut and he switched the phone button. “Waterman.” “Hey Lew, how are you, old man?” The voice of Colonel Collins sounded far away, disturbed by noise interferences. “It’s more difficult to get in touch with you than a pay raise from Commander Straker.” “Uh, Craig, I’m not that old, only five months…
